About this trip
Eighteen days moving through Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand, taking in wetlands, bay cruises, ancient temple cities and a finish on the beach. It's a broad sweep of the region rather than a deep dive into any one country, built for travellers who want the big names covered in one go.
You start in Vietnam with a small-boat trip through Van Long wetland and a cruise around Ha Long Bay's limestone caves, then head south through the Mekong delta region into Cambodia, where Phnom Penh's temples and palaces lead on to the ruins of Angkor Wat. The trip closes in Thailand, from Bangkok's riverside temples to beach days in Phuket.
With family-friendly pacing and partially guided days, there's room to explore some stops at your own pace while still having the key sights and transport handled for you.
What you'll do
- Take a small boat through Van Long wetland
- Cruise Ha Long Bay past limestone caves
- Make your own lantern in central Vietnam
- Explore Phnom Penh's temples and palaces
- Visit the temple complex of Angkor Wat
- Cruise Bangkok's Chao Phraya River past Wat Arun and Wat Phra Kaew
- Covers three countries in 18 days, so travel days are frequent
- Partially guided, with some time left free to explore on your own
- Ends with beach time in Phuket rather than another city stop
Worth it if you want seamless logistics, excellent guides, and cultural immersion across three countries. Think twice if you need pre-trip detail upfront or expect consistent 4-star hotels throughout.
- Tour guides were universally excellent with strong English; drivers navigated heavy traffic expertly throughout.
- Hotels well-located with good breakfasts; logistics and pick-up/drop-off arrangements executed flawlessly.
- First hotel had cramped room; Phuket hotel felt damp and musty despite staff efforts to fix.
- Phuket finale leaves downtime—add extra nights and book Phi Phi Islands or Elephant Sanctuary independently.
